Ring alarm system, and Yale door lock.

I use ring-mqtt, so I can see the individual door sensors in Home Assistant, and have automations setup that include them.

Edit: I also have some older Ring door sensors directly connected to Home Assistant via ZHA, and use those to monitor my garage door’s position. Because I’m using RATGDO in dry contact mode, I don’t get door position from it. So I created a “synthetic” cover entity in Home Assistant that incorporates the additional sensors and the status from RATGDO to show the “real” status of my door. It includes time outs, so if someone stops the door half way, the entity will switch from “closing/opening” to “open” if the door isn’t closed after the time out.
